Those are really nice ones, Alana! Have you ever considered "Knotions" - http://www.knotionsmag.com/ - for pattern submission? They're relatively new, but seem to be trying to put together a quality pattern site.

Girl, just copyright the patterns and self publish. There is no law that says you have to be "accepted" by the establishment to get your work out there. (Gods, I so hate the concept of being validated by "THEM" and "THEY"!) If you like it and the people who see it like it, it is accepted. I saw the sock and frankly, it rocks. Don't you ever, ever let them make yuou feel less than talented. Those of us that know you and your work know that you are very talented. ::::Wanders off muttering about stupid people and what truly constitutes art:::::
